Summary: "In this book, we have paired each task with instructional notes to support the field-tested implementation and facilitation that we found to maximize both student learning and joy in teaching mathematics. This book is divided into two parts. Part 1 covers the background and important information about the meaning and value of rich algebra tasks, how the tasks in this book support and extend effective mathematics teaching practices, and important instructional guidance to add to your own teacher tool-box for implementing and facilitating these tasks. Part 2 includes the tasks themselves, organized by topic. At the beginning of Part 2 you will find a table that aligns each task to various standards, though be aware that even if a task is aligned with a lower grade-level standard than the one you are teaching, it may still provide opportunities for you to 1. connect the new content to prior knowledge, 2. provide a problem-solving experience, or 3. focus on a concept that may not be well developed. Many of the tasks include student materials"-- Provided by publisher.
